Awful device, It said on their website the treatment would be pain free with no downtime or risk of scars, but it was extremely painful, I looked like I had been attacked by bees for two weeks and I have been left with indented scars all over my nose, particularly bad scars on the soft tissue triangle of my nose on one side, it looks like it has been chewed on by a rat!
To add insult to injury it did nothing for my thread veins, in actual fact I got more due to the damage and inflammation.
Anyone looking to get rid of red veins on the face please stick to lasers administered by a doctor, I wish I had.
The place I had it done have not been at all helpful, first the lady tried to say i already had scars, once i explaned i had pictures dated just before she treated me she changed her tune, I expressed my wish for them to pay for me to see a specialist, but instead they offered to give me a dermastamp and treat me again with another device (venus viva) to help the scars!
There is obviously no way I would ever let that woman near my skin again!
It has been month's since my last email and she has not even contacted me to see how i am.
I have since had cutera excel v with a doctor which has reduced the veins a great deal with no pain and no scars.
I am now looking into various treatment options to rid me of these scars.
Veingogh ... should be called Paingogh, awful device, avoid at all cost.

The lady seemed nice enough in person but obviously had no idea what she was doing, I have since found that the device should have been set to about 20% power for the face, I remember the machine being set to 100%, which is why it has left me with scars. She tried to say i already had scars there and then offered to do more work on the area with an even more powerful device! Fair enough she offered to try and fix the damage, but I could never let her near my skin again, they should be paying for my current laser work and any future work I have done to get rid of these scars.

I am sorry to hear of your outcome with Veingogh. I wonder if the person using it had the intensity turned too high. I have had good success with it and use a combination of topical numbing agents and ice but there is very little pain if done correctly. Best of luck.

I totally agree about Veingogh, I had it on my leg and it hurt like hell, while doing absolutely nothing for the problem area I was trying to address.Sorry for your trouble but good you found something better!
